Hi All,
Long time.
I just did my trans again at 102K (Last time was at 47K) and Here is what I did.
Last time I measured 10l come out.
So I put back in 10l.
I didn't wait for it to warm up to 102 dg, or anything like that.
Car shifts fine.
I did this again, I took out 10l of fluid (TQ had about 4l) and I put back in 10l, didn't wait for fluid to reach 102 and start the car, etc.
I just put a new pan on and drove.
And she's driving just fine.....
Am I right or am I right?
What do you all think of this 'no fuss' method?
There should be no harm doing that as long as you use the proper correct type of things recommended by the manufacturer .
It's like an oil change, some waits for 1 year while others can change it every 6 months
Your method works to get the car driving, but you're likely overfilling it. The old fluid that stays in the torque converter expands a lot when it gets hot. By putting in the full 10 liters cold, you're adding too much. It might be fine now, but long-term, overfilling can damage seals and cause transmission problems. The warming procedure is to get the level exact.
what he said above.
pull the rubber plug off, in front of the trans, use a screwdriver w a cloth on it and spin the TQ, it will appear.
t27 will get it out.
about 4-5l comes out from there
I also want to add that you should get an extra rubber plug for the TQ inspection port, I lost mine in the TQ.
I went back and did the 'proper' fill and level procedure.
Looks like it's about 9.8l that it starts to stop flowing and goes to a drizzle on position 3.
